TV Music traa la la C'mon.
We've ALL done it. A thread on the 'Music: Non Prince' forum reminded me of one of my childhood activities: taping music from tv shows! Back in the day, I'd sit there - in front of the tv - with a tape recorder and record my favourite theme tunes. I remember having particular affection for: ~ Dogtanian & The Three Muskahounds ("one for all and all for one, Muskahounds are always ready...") ~ Ulysses 31 ("Ulyseee-eeee-eeees...") ~ Are You Being Served? ("Ground floor...") What tunes did you tape off tv? [Edited 2/1/06 6:55am] | |

I was obviously the only one here who had this childhood passion.

My friend Eleanor once told me this story about how, when she was a kid, she used to tape all the latest hits off the radio. Her house walls were really thin - and the guy next door was quite sexy - so she used to blast them out, hoping he'd hear them and think 'Wow! That girl's got great taste!'. That's typical Eleanor. | |

Awww! I'll have to dig out one of my tapes. I know there's me introducing various theme tunes. And getting my dog to bark. (R.I.P Sam ). One where I'm commentating on a game of snooker I'm playing. And one where I'm reading a Bible story. All of it. It goes on. And on. And on. I'm surprised I didn't bore myself. | |

I did see one in Toronto a few years ago, though. Does that count? Well, I've managed to get the time off work so - fingers crossed - I'll be able to come up. It depends on £££, really, but if I can come - definitely. | |
